big boy
it is almost 8 1/2 pounds. he is the prince of cambridge, the first here in england in almost 200 years. and i think the royal couple reflected the feelings of a lot of people when they issued a simple statement tonight saying, we could not be happier. the cheers echoed across the grounds of
buckingham palace

4:24 p.m
.,
8 pound

woke up this morning
to find out that

>> reporter: but
william
and
kate
arrived so stealthily, none of the scores of photographers who camped out for days got them going in the back entrance.

was born in
1982
, the obstetrician reported he cried lustily. this time, no additional details from the doctors after more than ten hours of labor. of course, it's called labor for a reason, but the lindo wing definitely makes the best of t georgie mcgrath delivered molly and ollie there

>> reporter: and what will the new prince be named?

>>george. the regal george. very, very popular. several large, even a fourth figure.

william
was born, charles and diana came out on those very same steps behind me 21 hours after the birth. brian?
